So, what is faithbooking?

There are many methods and benefits of faithbooking. However, faithbooking can be what you want it to be. A quick way to get started and to incorporate your faith in your scrapbooks is by simply adding scripture to your pages. Verses can be used literally or figuratively. By incorporating a verse on your layout, you are reinforcing God's word to your family, friends and yourself. This is the easiest way to get started. However, don't stop here, dig deeper into your faith. You should, of course, pray about it. Ask God what he wants you to get out of your faithbooking. Perhaps, he will reveal a particular verse to you. Here is a verse to close with: "We will not hide them from their children: we will tell the next generation the praiseworthy deed of the Lord, this power, and the wonders He has done." Psalm 78:4

Where did faithbooking originate?

In my research, I believe the term "faithbooking" originated from Rhonda Anderson, co-founder of Creative Memories and co-author of Creative Memories Way. In an article, she wrote: "I began doing what I call "faithbooking" — creating a photo album specifically with the stories of miraculous moments in my life. We are in essence recording history and helping ourselves remember the memorable times God has intervened, reached out and changed our lives. Now, as my family and I look at our faithbook albums, our faith grows as never before." To read this article, visit http://www.family.org/focusoverfifty/lifewise/a0022748.html

Welcome

Welcome to my Weblog on faithbooking. What is faithbooking? I first seen the term in a scrapbooking magazine interview with Lisa Whelchel. I went to her site looking for more information. It referenced a faithbooking class at her Mom Retreats, but no real information on what it was. Then I saw a short post referencing faithbooking on a christian list I am on. This prompted me to do some research and learn more about faithbooking. My intentions are to share those findings here. I welcome your comments, criticisms, and suggestions. Post or email me! Thanks for reading.
